RE: USAF WWII pilots
Actually, there is no such thing as "USAF WWII pilots".
World War 2 Air Force pilots and crew were in the United States Army Air Forces, and there for were USAAF pilots. It wasn't until 1947 that the Air Force became a seperate, independent branch of service, and dropped the "Army" in it's name.

RE: USAF WWII pilots
Of course there were navy and marine pilots as well. They predominantly fought the Japanese

No offense but there were a Lot of army pilots and planes in the Pacific during WWII. I am not sure it is accurate to credit the Navy and Marines as the predominate combatants in that area.

Touchy??????????. You have a different interpretation of a sentence than I do and that makes me touchy? [8|
But I digress, seeing as how you really know nothing about me, let me be clear, this is touchy and sarcastic to boot:
Thanks for the public reprimand and criticism of my reading comprehension skills. I will endeavor to be a better person in the future
I didn't read it that way. To me, he was just saying that the Navy and Marine pilots were mostly in the theater, and not that others weren't involved. A little touchy, aren't we.

I just made the term up for you. No offense was intended. I apologize if one was taken. I hope you can calm down a little and just enjoy RCU as I do.

Ummm.....OK. I really just wanted to point out Navy/Marine pilots. I have no experience with the numbers of army pilots in the Pacific. I am sure they were there as well.

RE: USAF WWII pilots
Back on topic, here is a good color chart for your pilot. Lots of painting tips here as well.
